This deck is an unconventional take on Toshiro Umezawa. I know I might be spreading myself thin here but I wanted to make a Toshi deck that wasn't just all instant speed removal.

I also wanted to make use of exile effects to play opponents' cards, like Dauthi Voidwalker, Draugr Necromancer, Dead Man's Chest, etc... which I think takes the deck in a unique direction.

I also included Shizo, Death's Storehouse, and Vorpal Sword for a sort of voltron-esque win condition. Equipping Toshi with a sword that one-shots people is quite satisfying and is mainly there because they are both pet cards of mine and are also just thematic IMO.

There are many themes to this deck such as graveyard/exile/removal/lifegain/voltron which I think makes the deck fun but I feel as if maybe there is some fine-tuning I can still do. For example, I feel like other than magus of the will I don't have many other means of recursion and my exile effects seem minimal. The list is pretty tight at this point.

I'd appreciate any input on my current deck and would like feedback to improve the exile/play opponents stuff subtheme of the deck as I find it the most interesting. I'm open to other ideas as well.
